Create React apps using Kotlin

Does this mean that Kotlin -> React -> React Native is feasible too? It's a bit ridiculous on its face, but is there a better way to run Kotlin on iOS? Kotlin is a godsend for Android but if you have to support both platforms one codebase is better

How is the debugging experience? Is there a debugging experience?<p>I&#x27;m currently a typescript user and I like what VS code has going on with attaching to chrome and providing debugging within the ide. Source maps are okay but a seamless experience in the source language is better. Does the kotlin IDE have facilities for debugging what is going on in the browser?

Can I use this outside IntelliJ (Atom perhaps)? I despise JavaScript, GWT is underwhelming and Kotlin seems like a nice way to bypass these issues + React is becoming a de-facto standard. IntelliJ became too big&#x2F;slow&#x2F;feature creeped and I am not having good time with the latest code completion changes, so I am considering dropping it (PyCharm as well) for something more light-weight.

I was trying to get this setup going the other day and found it a little fiddly with some of the Jetbrain’s documentation on Kotlin-&gt;JS being outdated it seemed and the sample application they have supplied having some issues with missing dependencies, specifically missing package versions on NPM. I’ll be trying this out straightaway, so many thanks for this!

Why use this over TypeScript?

Intriguing approach. Anyone know if there&#x27;s a write-up somewhere from somebody that&#x27;s tried it? It&#x27;s always helpful to learn from the gotchas others have run into.

So the kotlin code gets compiled to Javascript or to Java bytecode?
